Equipment

  • 25x25 cm square tin
  • baking paper

Ingredients

  • 150 g walnuts
  • 220 g butter
  • 115 g light brown sugar
  • 50 g white granulated sugar
  • 150 g dark chocolate
  • 2 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 280 g plain flour
  • 15 g cornflour
  • pinch of baking soda
  • butter to grease your tin

Instructions

  • Grease your baking tray and line it with baking paper. Pre-heat your oven to 180ºC.
  • Start with browning your butter. Place it in a small pot and on medium heat let it melt and cook until it turns slightly brown golden. Add both sugars and set aside to cool down.
  • Chop walnuts roughly (keep some halves for the top). Take your chocolate bar and also chop into chunks. Set both aside and prepare your blondie batter.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together cooled butter and sugar mixture with eggs and egg yolk until everything combined. Add flour, cornflour, baking soda and pinch of salt and gently fold until everything combines, don't over do it or your blondies won't be soft and gooey. Add chopped walnuts and chocolate chunks and fold into the batter. Transfer your batter into the prepared baking tin and topped with the walnut halves you kept aside.
  • Bake for 20-25 mins. You should have some crumbs on your toothpick when checking if it's ready. They will firm as they cool so leave them to cool down completely in the tin. Once cooled down, remove from the tin and cut into squares or bars.
